You’ll help define user stories and collaborate with back-end developers to build complex features.

When applying, please include the following: 

  • Your availability, including when you can start and how many hours you can devote per week.

* Hey guys, Andy — Huckberry co-founder — here. I honestly wish I could reply to each and everyone of you, but we're starting to receive an ungodly amount of applications, and carpal tunnel syndrome runs in my family. So if you don't hear back from me, please don't take it personally. We're growing like a weed and will be hiring for a bunch more positions in the near future. In the meantime, see you out there!
